There is more Catarrh in this Sec
tion Of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years supposed to be incurable.
For great many years Doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed LEGAL remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure now on
the market. It is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.
1t acts directly upon the blood and
mucus surfaces Of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for circular and

Harden City, Kansas.

Frank Buchner, in letter of June
Srd gives good description of what he
calls 1.-The metropolis of Southwestern
Kansas" He SAYS:
Garden City is situated about four
hundred miles west of Kansas City on
the A, I. & S. F. road over which trains
run at all hours. The business part
of the town is quarter of mile from
the Arkansas river which Is fed by
the melted snow from the noun
tains and the heavy spring rains. About
the first of June it rises until it over
flows its banks, fertilizing the country
as the Nile does the land of Egypt
The city is beautifully situated in tho
Arkansas valley which is as level as
any ten feet you may choose in our
yard.
1t is surrounded by country having
as good agricultural advantages as any
in the world. The soil for miles around
is rich sandy loan which is very pro-
ductive. There are some shanties still
in the city but most of the residences
and business blocks are handsome being
built of stone, and brick with white
stone trimmings and costing all the
way from 100000 to 100000.
Seventeen handsome business blocks
are now building, and the number OF
dwelling houses now under way will
probably number into the hundreds.

Murder and SuIeide.

Last Thursday the little town of Ball
town, near Dubuque, was startled and
Mortified by the news of the suicide of
Christian Osthoff, an old resident of the
village, after the murder of his wife.
Osthoff was the father of Charlie Osthoff
who has been so long in DIR. Barber's
employ, and the announcement of the
terrible affair reached him on Saturday
He left Lancaster ut once, but reached
his home too late for the funeral SER
vices. 1t appears that Osthoff and his
wife had lived unhappily for some time
and quarrels were frequent between
them. Last Thursday morning when
their three sons went to the field for
their days work. hot words were passing
between the parents. They however
thought nothing of it, but returning at
noon they found their father lying dead
upon the threshold and the mother un-
conscious upon the floor of an upper
room with her brains crushed by re-
peated blows from a Ratchet that lay
beside her. Mrs. Osthoff fingered until
evening when she expired. Christian
Osthoff was man about 62 years old,
his wife, formerly Mrs. Mueller, was
but SO.

Drowning at POtOsi OF Thomas Maxwell


Last Saturday. about 2 o'clock, our
village was startled bya report from
the river that Thomas Maxwell Hymer,
son of our we'll known smelter Thomas
Hymer, was drowned in the canal. 1t
seems that MAX" In company with
three OF his schoolmates, all of whom
were unable to swim, were on their
way to the Mississippi to spend the
afternoonin fishing. They were supplied
with tackle and bait, but Max who
had mover caught fish and was anx-
ious to achieve this great desire Of his
heart, though if he could and get some
minnies he would succeed For this
purpose he had taken off his clothes, and
was trying to wade the canal on a sand
bar where the other boys had crossed
He was scarcely twenty feet from the
bank wheu he found himself beyond
his depth and cried for help. The boys
on shore, frightened and almost beside
themselves. ran for poles whic they
threw in, vet all to no purpose. The
drowning boy could not reach them. and
he soon sank to the bottom of dank and
treacherous pool whose waters seemed
| to draw him down. A large number of
our citizens soon repaired to the scene
and spent the afternoon in search for
the body which was found some four
hours afterwards, near the place where
he disappeared.
Max Hymer was the youngest son of
Thomas and Jane Hymer, and would
have been IA years OF age on the 9Th
day of August next. He was member
of our high school and had just been
promoted to the upper department. He
was of quite retiring nature. pos sess-
ed of kindly disposition, and was a
great favorite among teachers and
scholars. Bright intelligent and
studious, he would have soon
mastered the elementary branches of
our school and been prepared to enter
upon a higher grade of studies, it
being the intention of his father to give
him college education as soon as his
proficiency permitted.
But alas for human hopes and earth
ly aspirations! On this bright
beautiful holiday afternoon, while
his young warm heart thro bbed
with the joyous sport of youth, and
without a suspicion of danger, the dark
shadow of life fell upon his pathway
and quenched forever the fond hopes
that had gathered around his fair
young form. Not soon will his pleasant
smile pass from remembrance or the
noble qualities be forgotten which
made him beloved of all who knew
him.
| He was buried in the British Hollow
cemetery on Monday, the Rev. E. N.
Corey. of Potosi, officiating. A large
concourse of neighbors and friends
were present mingling their sorrow with
the heart-stricken parents in their
great afflction.

June 5th, Children's Day was observed

and the church was we'll filled. Service
was opened by an anthem from tho
choir followed by responsive exercises
led by the pastor After this the sing

choir withorgan and cornet accompani-

On A Tour OF INSPECTION. - Prof.
A. o. Wright and DIR. Vivian, Men,
bers of the State Board of Charities
and Reform were here last week on a
tour of inspection of the asylums, jails,
poor-houses etc. OF the state. They
said they found those institutions in
Lancaster, all in first class condition.
Mr.. Wright remarked (and his re-
marks were heartily seconded by DIR.
Vlvian) that he had never seen better
couple for managing such an institution
than Mr.. and Mrs. Showalter. The
Poor House building, he thought.
should be somewhat improved. and he
suggested a separate building to be used
as a hospital for sick patients. He said
also that the county needed larger
farm. and that the land now leased
should be bought.

LITERARY. The next meeting OF the
Lancaster Literary Club, which win be
the last meeting of the year, will
be held at Judge Clementson's, Tuesday
evening, June IA. On this evening
Miss nWoolstenholme will be the es-
sayist, and will provoke discussion on
the question of the Higher Education of
Women. The leading disputants are
Rev. Mr.. Grinnell and Mrs. Pulford.
AS this is the last meeting it is hoped
that all the members will respond to roll
call, for full attendance is certain to
insure a greater degree of enthusiasm in
discussing the question at issue, and it is
desirable to wind up with ardor and
spirit enough to tide over the vacation,
in which interest flags, and leave .
surplus to bring to the opening meeting
in September. Mr.. McDermott has been
appointed to read paper at this Sep
teinber meeting. For the October
meeting of the club, Judge Glenn
cnson has been appointed essayist
and for November Mrs. Chandler.
The executive committee has decided,
that the banquet which the society hoped
to have on the 10th of this month would
better be postponed until the first Tues
day in September. There are various
reasons that make this postponement
necessary. The difficulty of securing
proper place in which to hold the ban
quet, since the Hubbard House can not
be secured, seems to be the chief obstacle
to the plan, but there are many minor
difficulties that stand in the way.
